Japanmarket

In 2000, the then Emperor and Empress of Japan visited Japan Museum SieboldHuis as part of the State Visit to the Netherlands. To commemorate this visit and their walk down the Rapenburg together with then Queen Beatrix, this event is organised annually by Japan Museum SieboldHuis.

Discover Japan—past and present! Wander through timeless traditions like bonsai, kimono, and ikebana, then dive into the colorful world of manga, anime, and cosplay. From elegant to eccentric, it’s a cultural adventure you won’t want to miss!

If you would like to participate in the Japan Market (2026) as a vendor, you can send an email to japanmarkt@sieboldhuis.org. The coordinator of the Japan Market will begin organizing the event starting in February 2026. From that moment on, emails will be processed again.

In February, all interested parties will receive an invitation to register for the Japan Market 2026. After that, we will announce who has been selected to participate. Each year, there are more applications than available spots. To ensure a certain level of diversity, not every application can be accepted.

Please note: Only Japanese goods may be sold at the Japan Market.
